Command-line-option -slide <directory>

Post by tom*de »

Hello,

we discussed about an useful command-line-option for xnview in the TC-Forum: http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=10192

Code: Select all

xnwiew -slide <directory>
z.B.:
xnview C:\PICTURES\
A) Starts a slideshow with all the files in a directory...?

It should use the slideshow-options in xnview.ini.
B) The same behavior would be useful if the slideshow-file <file.sld> only contain a list of filenames...

Hello tom*de,

your post was in the wrong forum group, this is why it hasn't replied to, yet.

I like the idea of a command line option which allows for starting a slideshow of all images in folder. I guess -slide is occupied, perhaps something like -slidedir would be possible.

Also a useful feature. Generating a list of filenames can be performed easily, would be really useful to be able to simply pass the filelist on to XnView to display a slide show.

I'd love that if you've "xnview -slide filename.jpg" that would also start the slideshow with default options starting with filename.jpg... wouldn't be too hard to implement but will save my day!!!

Great work!!!
